FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and more particularly to a display panel.

Luminescent material layers of pixels in conventional organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panels are generally formed by evaporation processes.

In the formed pixels, areas of red pixels, areas of green pixels, and areas of blue pixels only consider the optical effect when the organic materials are optimally illuminated. After display for a long time, attenuations of different materials are inconsistent with respect to the lifetime of the materials. This result in color shifting in the display panel.

Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to solve the above technical issues.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a display panel capable of preventing color drift from being over a predetermined range.

In order to solve the above issues, a technical solution of an embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows.

A display panel includes at least two pixel repeating units arranged in an array, each of the pixel repeating units including a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel. The first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are ones of red, green, and blue pixels. The first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are different from each other. A ratio y1 of an aperture ratio of the red pixel to an aperture ratio of the green pixel is in the range of 0.78e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.98r)≤y1≤2.297{circumflex over ( )}(−1.85r), and 0.1≤y1≤3, where r is a ratio of a luminous efficiency of the red pixel to a luminous efficiency of the green pixel. A ratio y2 of an aperture ratio of the blue pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel is in a range of 1.32e{circumflex over ( )}(−10.7b)≤y2≤5.95e{circumflex over ( )}(−14.1b), and 0.3≤y2≤4, where b is a ratio of a luminous efficiency of the blue pixel to the luminous efficiency of the green pixel. Shapes of edges of two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are complementary in at least one of a first direction, a second direction, a third direction, and a fourth direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The third direction is a direction having an angle of less than 90 degrees with the first direction. The fourth direction is perpendicular to the third direction. Shapes, sizes, and areas of any two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are different.

In the above-mentioned display panel, at least two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are alternately arranged in at least one of the first direction, the second direction, the third direction, and the fourth direction.

In the above-mentioned display panel, a width of a gap between two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel alternately arranged in the third direction is equal to a width of a gap between two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel alternately arranged in the fourth direction.

In the above-mentioned display panel, an arc and an extended arc corresponding to an edge of the third pixel facing the first pixel and an arc and an extended arc corresponding to an edge of the second pixel facing the first pixel form a predetermined shape, and the predetermined shape includes a circle or an ellipse.

A display panel includes at least two pixel repeating units arranged in an array. Each of the pixel repeating units includes a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel. The first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are ones of red, green, and blue pixels. The first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are different from each other. A ratio y1 of an aperture ratio of the red pixel to an aperture ratio of the green pixel is in the range of 0.78e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.98r)≤y1≤2.297e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.85r), and 0.1≤y1≤3, where r is a ratio of a luminous efficiency of the red pixel to a luminous efficiency of the green pixel. A ratio y2 of an aperture ratio of the blue pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel is in a range of 1.32e{circumflex over ( )}(−10.7b)≤y2≤5.95e{circumflex over ( )}(−14.1b), and 0.3≤y2≤4, where b is a ratio of a luminous efficiency of the blue pixel to the luminous efficiency of the green pixel.

In the above-mentioned display panel, an aperture ratio of the first pixel is obtained by dividing a total area of all of the first pixels of the pixel repeating units by a total area of all of the pixel repeating units. An aperture ratio of the second pixel is obtained by dividing a total area of all of the second pixels of the pixel repeating units by the total area of all of the pixel repeating units. An aperture ratio of the third pixel is obtained by dividing a total area of all of the third pixels of the pixel repeating units by the total area of all of the pixel repeating units.

In the above-mentioned display panel, when the shape of first pixel is ellipse, a ratio of a long axis to a short axis of the ellipse is in a range of 1 to 5.

In the above-mentioned display panel, the ratio of the long axis to the short axis of the ellipse is in a range of 1 to 3.

In the above-mentioned display panel, when the shape of the second pixel includes the convex curve and/or the concave curve, an area of the second pixel is an area of a minimum circumscribed circle of the second pixel minus a first overlapping area of a pixel gap and the second pixel. The pixel gap includes at least one of a first gap and a second gap, the first gap is a gap between the first pixel and the second pixel, and the second gap is a gap between the second pixel and the third pixel.

The pixel gap includes at least one of a second gap and a third gap, the second gap is a gap between the second pixel and the third pixel, and the third gap is a gap between the first pixel and the third gap.

In the above-mentioned display panel, the ratio y1 of an aperture ratio of the red pixel to an aperture ratio of the green pixel is in the range of 0.78e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.98r)≤y1≤2.297{circumflex over ( )}(−1.85r), and 0.2≤y1≤2.2. A ratio y2 of an aperture ratio of the blue pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel is in a range of 1.32e{circumflex over ( )}(−10.7b)≤y2≤5.95e{circumflex over ( )}(−14.1b), and 0.5≤y2≤3.6.

In the above-mentioned display panel, shapes of edges of two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are complementary in at least one of a first direction, a second direction, a third direction, and a fourth direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The third direction is a direction having an angle of less than 90 degrees with the first direction. The fourth direction is perpendicular to the third direction.

In the above-mentioned display panel, at least two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are alternately arranged in at least one of the first direction, the second direction, the third direction, and the fourth direction.

In the above-mentioned display panel, a width of a gap between two of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel alternately arranged in the third direction is equal to a width of a gap between two of the first pixel, the second pixel. The third pixel alternately arranged in the fourth direction.

In the above-mentioned display panel, an arc and an extended arc corresponding to an edge of the third pixel facing the first pixel and an arc and an extended arc corresponding to an edge of the second pixel facing the first pixel form a predetermined shape. The predetermined shape includes a circle or an ellipse.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, because the aperture ratios (areas) of the red pixels, the green pixels, and the blue pixels are set according to the luminous efficiency. Therefore, the current densities on the different pixels are equal. Even the display panel displays (illuminates) images for a long time, the color shift is prevented from exceed a predetermined range (ie, the color shift of the display panel is restricted within a predetermined range).

A radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the second pixel 102 faces is equal to a sum of a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the second pixel 102 that the first pixel 101 faces and a width W5 of the gap between the first pixel 101 and the second pixel 102 in the third direction D3. In the fourth direction D4, the shape of the third pixel 103 toward the edge of the first pixel 101 corresponds to a concave arc. A radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 103 faces is equal to a sum of a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the third pixel 103 that the first pixel 101 faces and a width W6 of the gap between the first pixel 101 and the third pixel 103 in the fourth direction D4.

As shown in FIG. 4, the shape of the first pixel 101 is circular. In the third direction D3, the shape of the second pixel 102 toward the edge of the first pixel 101 corresponds to a concave arc. A radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the second pixel 102 faces is equal to a sum of a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the second pixel 102 that the first pixel 101 faces and a width W7 of the gap between the first pixel 101 and the second pixel 102 in the third direction D3. In the fourth direction D4, the shape of the third pixel 103 toward the edge of the first pixel 101 corresponds to a concave arc. A radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 103 faces is equal to a sum of a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the third pixel 103 that the first pixel 101 faces and a width W8 of the gap between the first pixel 101 and the third pixel 103 in the fourth direction D4.

An arc and an extended arc thereof corresponding to an edge of third pixel 103 facing the first pixel 101 and an arc and an extended arc thereof corresponding to an edge of the second pixel 102 facing the first pixel 101 form a predetermined shape, and the predetermined shape includes a circle or an ellipse.

As shown in FIG. 1, the predetermined shape is an elliptical shape. As shown in FIG. 2, the predetermined shape is a circular shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the predetermined shape is an elliptical shape. As shown in FIG. 4, the predetermined shape is a circle.

A shape of each of the first pixels 101 is the same as or similar to the predetermined shape.

A center of a shape of each of the first pixels 101 is the same as a center of the predetermined shape.

When the shape of each of the first pixels 101 includes an ellipse, a long axis of the ellipse points to one of each of the second pixels 102 and each of the third pixels 103, a short axis of the ellipse points to the other of each of the second pixels 102 and each of the third pixels 103.

As shown in FIG. 1, the long axis of the ellipse corresponding to the shape of the first pixel 101 is directed to the second pixel 102, and correspondingly, the short axis is directed to the third pixel 103.

As shown in FIG. 3, the short axis of the ellipse corresponding to the shape of the first pixel 101 is directed to the second pixel 102 and the third pixel 103.

An angle between the long axis of the ellipse and the first direction or the second direction ranges between 0 degree and 90 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 1, the angle between the long axis of the ellipse and the first direction D1 is in the range of 40 to 50 degrees. As shown in FIG. 3, the angle between the long axis of the ellipse and the first direction D1 is in a range of 0 to 10 degrees. Correspondingly, the angle between the long axis of the ellipse and the second direction D2 is in the range of 80 degrees to 90 degrees.

When a shape of each of the second pixels 102 includes a circle or an ellipse, and a shape of each of the third pixels 103 includes a concave arc or a combined shape of a concave arc and a convex arc, the shape of each of the third pixels 103 includes a curvature of one of at least four concave arcs that is greater or less than (adjacent) another of the at least four concave arcs.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second pixel 102 has a circular shape, and a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the second pixel 102 that the third pixel 103 faces is greater than a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 103 faces.

When a shape of each of the second pixels 102 and a shape of each of the third pixels 103 both include a concave arc or a combined shape of a concave arc and a convex arc, a curvature of one of at least four concave arcs of the shape of each of the third pixels 103 is greater or equal to a curvature of one of at least four concave arcs of the shape of each of the second pixels 102.

As shown in FIG. 1, a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the second pixel 102 faces is greater than a radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 103 faces.

As shown in FIG. 3, a radius of curvature of the convex arc corresponding to the edge of the second pixel 102 that the third pixel 102 faces is greater than a radius of curvature of the convex arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 103 faces. A radius of curvature of the convex arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 102 faces is equal to a radius of curvature of the convex arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the second pixel 102 faces.

As shown in FIG. 4, a radius of curvature of the convex arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the third pixel 102 faces is equal to a radius of curvature of the convex arc corresponding to the edge of the first pixel 101 that the second pixel 102 faces.

In the above technical solution, since the shape of the first pixel is circular or elliptical, and the shapes of the edges in the second pixel and the third pixel correspond to a concave arc, the sum of the radius of curvature of the shape of the edge of the first pixel and the width of the predetermined gap is equal to the radius of curvature of the concave arc corresponding to the edge of one of the second pixel and the third pixel, and thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively reduce the unused space between pixels, thereby effectively increasing the aperture ratio of the pixel.

In the above technical solution, since the shape of the first pixel is a circle or an ellipse, the shape of the second pixel is a circle, an ellipse, and a shape formed by a concave arc and a convex arc. In one case, the shape of the third pixel is a shape formed by a concave arc and a convex arc, thereby facilitating the fabrication of the pixel and effectively increasing the aperture ratio of the pixel.

A total area of all of the first pixels 101 (for example, an area of one of the first pixels 101, a sum of areas of the two first pixels 101), all of the total area of the two pixels 102 (for example, an area of one of the second pixels 102, a sum of areas of the two second pixels 102), the total area of all of the third pixels 103 (for example, an area of one of the third pixels 103, a sum of areas of the two third pixels 103) in the pixel repeating unit are inversely proportional to the luminous efficiency of the luminescent material of the first pixel 101, the luminous efficiency of the luminescent material of the second pixel 102, and the luminous efficiency of the luminescent material of the third pixel 103, respectively.

A ratio y1 of an aperture ratio of the red pixel to an aperture ratio of the green pixel is in the range of 0.78e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.98r)≤y1≤2.297e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.85r), and 0.1≤y1≤3, where r is a ratio of a luminous efficiency of the red pixel to a luminous efficiency of the green pixel, a ratio y2 of an aperture ratio of the blue pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel is in a range of 1.32e{circumflex over ( )}(−10.7b)≤y2≤5.95e{circumflex over ( )}(−14.1b), and 0.3≤y2≤4, where b is a ratio of a luminous efficiency of the blue pixel to the luminous efficiency of the green pixel.

The ratio y1 of the aperture ratio of the red pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel may be, for example, one of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, and 3. Preferably, the ratio y1 of the aperture ratio of the red pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel is in a range of 0.2≤y1≤2.2. The ratio y2 of the aperture ratio of the blue pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel may be, for example, one of 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 4. Preferably, the ratio y2 of the aperture ratio of the blue pixel to the aperture ratio of the green pixel is in the range of 0.5≤y2≤3.6. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in this range, the current densities of various material efficiencies acting on red, green, and blue pixels are equal or substantially equal, while in long-term use, the degree of material attenuation of red, green, and blue pixels are similar, so that the overall color shift of the display panel can fall within a relatively good range.

The aperture ratio and the luminous efficiency of the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel in the conventional display panel do not have the above relationship (i.e., there is no: 0.78e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.98r)≤y1≤2.297{circumflex over ( )}(−1.85r), and 0.1≤y1≤3, 1.32e{circumflex over ( )}(−10.7b)≤y2≤5.95e{circumflex over ( )}(−14.1b), and 0.3≤y2≤4), therefore, with the accumulation of use time, in the conventional display panel, the difference in the degree of attenuation of the efficacy of any one of the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel will become larger and larger, resulting in the degree of color shift (value) of the conventional display panel gradually going to a predetermined range (about the numerical range of the display effect) is divergent (i.e., deviated), that is, the display performance of the conventional display panel is getting worse.

In the display panel of the embodiment of the present disclosure, since 0.78e{circumflex over ( )}(−1.98r)≤y1≤2.297{circumflex over ( )}(−1.85r), and 0.1≤y1≤3, 1.32e{circumflex over ( )}(−10.7b)≤y2≤5.95e{circumflex over ( )}(−14.1b), and 0.3≤y2≤4, therefore, In the case of the same usage time as a conventional display panel, the difference in the degree of attenuation of the light effect of any two of the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel in the display panel of the embodiment of the present disclosure is not much different, and the degree of color shift (value) of the display panel the embodiment of the present disclosure is still within a predetermined range, so that the display panel of the embodiment of the present disclosure maintains a better display performance for a longer duration than the conventional one. The display panel maintains the same display for a longer duration.

In the case where the pixel repeating unit includes one first pixel 101, one second pixel 102, and one third pixel 103, the aperture ratio of the first pixel 101 is equal to the area of the first pixel 101/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the second pixel 102 is equal to the area of the second pixel 102/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the third pixel 103 is equal to the area of the third pixel 103/the area of the pixel repeating unit.

In the case where the pixel repeating unit includes two first pixel 101, one second pixel 102, and one third pixel 103, the aperture ratio of the first pixels 101 is equal to the area of the two first pixels 101/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the second pixel 102 is equal to the area of the second pixel 102/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the third pixel 103 is equal to the area of the third pixel 103/the area of the pixel repeating unit.

In the case where the pixel repeating unit includes one first pixel 101, two second pixels 102, and one third pixel 103, the aperture ratio of the first pixel 101 is equal to the area of the first pixel 101/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the second pixels 102 is equal to the area of the two second pixels 102/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the third pixel 103 is equal to the area of the third pixel 103/the area of the pixel repeating unit.

In the case where the pixel repeating unit includes one first pixel 101, one second pixel 102, and two third pixels 103, the aperture ratio of the first pixel 101 is equal to the area of the first pixel 101/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the second pixel 102 is equal to the area of the second pixel 102/the area of the pixel repeating unit, the aperture ratio of the third pixels 103 is equal to the area of the two third pixels 103/the area of the pixel repeating unit.

In a case where the shape of the first pixel 101 is elliptical, the area of the first pixel 101 corresponds to the length of the long axis of the first pixel 101 and the length of the minor axis. In a case where the shape of the first pixel 101 is a circle, an area of the first pixel 101 corresponds to a length of a radius of the first pixel 101.

In the case where the shape of the second pixel 102 is a shape including a convex arc and/or a concave arc, the area of the second pixel 102=the area of the smallest circumcircle of the second pixel 102−a first overlap area of the pixel gap area and the second pixel 102; wherein the pixel gap area includes one of a first gap region between the first pixel 101 and the second pixel 102 and a second gap region between the second pixel 102 and the third pixel 103.

The first overlapping area corresponds to a distance between the first pixel 101 and the second pixel 102, a width of the first gap region, a curvature of an outer peripheral edge line of the first gap region, and also corresponds to a distance between the third pixel 103 and the second pixel 102, the width of the second gap region, and the curvature of an outer peripheral edge line of the second gap region.

In a case where the shape of the third pixel 103 is a shape including a concave arc or a combination of a concave arc and a convex arc, the area of the third pixel 103 is equal to the area of the minimum circumscribed circle of the third pixel 103 minus the second overlapping area of the pixel gap area pair and the third pixel 103. The pixel gap region includes at least one of a third gap region between the third pixel 103 and the first pixel 101 and a second gap region between the second pixel 102 and the third pixel 103.

The second overlapping area corresponds to a distance between the first pixel 101 and the third pixel 103, a width of the third gap region, a curvature of an outer peripheral edge line of the third gap region, and also corresponds to a distance between the third pixel 103 and the second pixel 102, the width of the second gap region, and the curvature of an outer peripheral edge line of the second gap region.

In particular, the shape of the first pixel 101 is elliptical, and the shape of the second pixel 102 and the shape of the third pixel 103 are both formed by convex arcs and/or concave arcs. The area of the first pixel 101, the area of the second pixel 102, and the area of the third pixel 103 are different, the shape of the second pixel 102 and the shape of the third pixel 103 are different, and the size of the second pixel 102 is different from the size of the third pixel 103.

In the case where the shape of the first pixel 101 is elliptical, the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the ellipse is in the range of 1 to 5, for example, the ratio is one of 1, 1.3, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.3, 3.5, 3.8, 4, 4.3, 4.5, 4.8, and 5. Preferably, the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the ellipse is in the range of 1 to 3.

Since the aperture ratios (areas) of the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel are set according to the luminous efficiency thereof, the current density acting on the different pixels is equal, thereby preventing the display panel from being displayed after the image is displayed (lighting) for a long time. The degree of color shift is out of a predetermined range (that is, the degree of color shift of the display panel is maintained within a predetermined range).

The shape of the at least one of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103 is a shape formed by a convex arc. The remaining at least two of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103 are formed by a convex arc and a concave arc. Two of the shapes of the edges of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103 are complementary in one of the first direction D1, the second direction D2, the third direction D3, and the fourth direction D4. Therefore, between two of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103, there must be a gap of a considerable width to prevent interference between the two pixels. The technical solution can make full use of the space of the display panel 10, reducing the excess space, so that the aperture ratios of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103 are improved.

The sum of the radius of curvature of the shape of the edge of the first pixel 101 toward one of the second pixel 102 and the third pixel 103 and the width of the predetermined gap is equal to the radius of curvature of the concave arc. Therefore, the aperture ratios of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103 can be effectively improved.

Since the two concave arcs in the shape formed by the convex arc and/or the concave arc are connected by the convex arc, it is convenient to manufacture in the corresponding mask (reducing the difficulty of making the mask). In addition, it is advantageous to increase the aperture ratios of the first pixel 101, the second pixel 102, and the third pixel 103.

In the above technical solution, the area of the first pixel, the area of the second pixel, the area of the third pixel are respectively inversely proportional to the luminous efficiency of the luminescent material of the first pixel, the luminous efficiency of the luminescent material of the second pixel, and the luminous efficiency of the luminescent material of the third pixel, so that the embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid issues of color shift of the display panel.
